THANK YOU!

[Van Lutz]

Thank You! I just needed to know it’s possible and not insanely hard. What you described, I’ve kind of done.

Thanks again.

Thanks. I’m fully up and running. Now, I just have to learn da vinci. I’ve edited the first scene, and it works a little like Final Cut. But, FC was very user friendly. I didn’t have to look up anything in order to edit. Da Vinci is not as user friendly. But, for free, I am sure not complaining (not much anyway).

Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The GPU came. It was easy to install, and it worked.

Perhaps what you need the 4GB for is resolve for effects.

I’m just simple editing and eventually color correction. The correction is down the road. It’s going to be a long, slow road.

I did love the fact you can sync the sound and video in a flash. That was great.

THANK YOU!

You said it yourself, “If you know where to look.”

Customer support answered my question today, with basically the same thing. Look at the updates.

I answered them pretty dang rudely. Because they deserve it.

Common sense: I want your software. Will it work on my computer? Why in the world would I go to support updates when I don’t have the software on my computer? What am I updating? Nothing. If you go to where you download the software, there’s no minimum requirements list there. That’s where it needs to be.

I might download 18 since 19 won’t work. But, I also might just try Premiere Pro. When the simpliest things elude a company, there’s bound to be other problems.

If I ever make another movie, I’m going to get another Mac and Final Cut. Final Cut ruled. My version is just too old for these high falootin cameras of today.

Thank you. That’s why it’s important for there to be a minimum requirement page on Da Vinci’s website. They have pretty pictures that say “minimum requirements for PC”, it doesn’t matter where you click, nothing happens. There’s nowhere on the site that gives that info.

The wrong one should be at my house on Saturday. It’ll take me a few minutes to plug it in and try it out. If it doesn’t work I’ll get one of the ones you mentioned.

Thanks again. Happy New Year!

Thank you. I think I actually figured it out with grok and a bunch of youtube video help.

All my specifications are fine except the GPU. I bought a – ZOTAC GeForce GT 1030 2GB GDDR5 64-bit PCIe 3.0 DirectX 12 HDCP Ready Low Profile Video Card ZT-P10300A-10L

It raises the graphics to the proper specification, and it will fit in my small form PC. Years ago I bought a MAC and needed to upgrade the GPU, and it’s actually very simple. Hopefully, this is the only issue.

Thanks for the response, and hope you had a great Christmas or Hanukkah.
